Appeon Server for Windows EAServer edition supports migrating distributed applications regardless of whether they contain server DataStores. If your non-distributed application is large and contains complex logic or many unsupported features, consider building a distributed application out of it by moving a portion of business logic to the server.
The migration process for distributed applications is essentially the same as outlined in Migration Process. However, you should carefully read the instructions in this chapter, and perform special preparation or deployment process to ensure successful migration. Refer to:
-
the section called “Moving unsupported features to Appeon Server as n-Tier NVOs” for details on the advantages, restrictions, and guidance of n-Tier NVO usage in distributed applications.
-
the section called “Migrating distributed applications without distributed DataWindows” for special preparation tasks required for migration of distributed applications without distributed DataWindows.
-
the section called “Migrating distributed applications with distributed DataWindows” for special workaround techniques for supporting the GetFullState, SetFullState, GetChanges and SetChanges functions. Note that the workaround techniques only work with Appeon Server for EAServer on Windows.
